I've been trying to get a good balance in temperatures but it's been difficult. I thought I had everything right before.
I have a heat pad & a thermostat. The temp gun I'm using has a -3/+3 range. I looked at other threads to see what temp guns everyone else recommended and it seemed even the best ones had a -2/+2 range.
I did several trials, measuring below the substrate, and what I got most of the time were 90 - 93 on various points throughout the Hide (though one spot where the red laser was on read 94). My concern is the -3/+3 range. If -3, my temps would actually be 87-90 and if +3, 93-96. It's hard to explain, but if I go any lower or any higher on my thermostat, can you see how I'm kinda stuck? When sometimes my temp gun reads higher than I would like (like that 94 degree when everything else around it was 90-93), I touch the spot and it feels kinda of warm but not a lot or hot. Concerning the range when at lowest 90 - worst case scenario is it's actually 87 - is that ok? Putting the thermostat any higher to compensate for the low temp and not the high temp, I'm afraid I'll hurt my snake.
